“The topic of racism will be a public display of psychological projection by liberals and their media beyond any hyperbole ever before witnessed.”

Which is why it is way past time that we vociferously and with as much outrage as we can muster call them the racists, bigots, and most definitely the elitists that they are. This needs to be done in a way that doesn't come across as defensive, but more along the lines of being very surprised that anyone would not have come to the same conclusion. i.e. “Really?”

Elitism is a label that I think will stick particularly well, because it is oh so true of the ideologically blinded left. For example, the hatred of the left for Tim Tebow is not just about Christianity. It's very much about their disdain for those they think are not sophisticated - like them. They think they are too urbane and ‘classy’ for public displays of religion, unless it's a ‘cool’ eclectic religion that shows how progressive and expansive their ‘cool’ thinking is (Christianity is not a ‘cool’ religion). It's so amazingly ironic that they can't or won't realize that it is they who have narrowed their thinking and beliefs to the point of superstition.

“America incarcerates vastly more blacks, and latinos, than whites,”
That would be because Blacks and Hispanics commit vastly more crime than do Whites.

Consider adding:

Anything stated by a WASP conservative regarding any of the above is, ipso facto, Hate Speech.

Rick Santorum, for example, enjoyed a comfortable middle class upbringing after his 1958 birth because both of his parents worked......'nuff said.

South Carolina, the site for the next GOP presidential primary, is expending state funds in an effort to beat back the U.S. Justice Department’s blocking implementation of SC’s new photo ID voter law.

Because it's racist to make Black People show ID in order to vote.

Meanwhile it's not racist to make All People do it before buying tobacco, beer, firearms, antihistamines, or drain cleaner.

Nope-- just Black People, and just for voting.

What bigoted banter was uttered by Santorum?

I think he got tongue-twisted a week or two ago and said something that could be tortured into sounding racist. I haven't heard a clip of it but that was the explanation I heard, and it would certainly be par for the current "news media" to spin it that way.

“The Drug War’s documented race-tainted enforcement practices drives facts like blacks comprising 25% of Iowa’s state prison population despite blacks there representing just 2.9% of that state’s population.”

Considering that this 2.9 percent of the population in 2009 in Iowa,committed 31 percent of the murders, 51 percent of the robberies, 23 percent of the aggravated assaults, 7.5 percent of the rapes, that they are only 25 percent of the prison population shows that they are underrepresented in the inmate population
